How to define schema once and have server code and client code typed? [Typescript]
It looked a little janky but it actually worked fine. But then I needed file uploads. Something graphql-zeus does not support. So I had to create a small wrapper for the SDK created so that it worked. And then also express-graphql, the server I was using, was deprecated.

Apollo Server v4 Breaking Changes. Time to move away?
This seems like a minor deal unless you're not using Express as your web framework. And an important note here is that Express GraphQL is being deprecated by the GraphQL Foundation. So if you're using Express for a GraphQL API, you should move away from it anyway.

Learn How to Build a GraphQL API in Node.js Using Apollo Server
You might have seen other GraphQL server solutions where the schema is implemented by using a more programmatic approach. Here is an example of how schemas are implemented using the express-graphql library. (link: https://github.com/graphql/express-graphql)

With Cube GraphQL API, you can query data warehouses like BigQuery and dozens of SQL-enabled databases like Postgres using GraphQL
I'm not sure where the "8MB limit" comes from but, indeed, there are issues like this where, in some implementations, the response size is limited to 100KB: https://github.com/graphql/express-graphql/issues/346

What's your experience with Go and GraphQL? Learning Go coming from Node
With Node I used express-graphql as opposed to something like Apollo because it's lighter and less heavy on resources compared to Apollo.

a first look at graphQL helix
Daniel Rearden listed the following reasons pushing him to create Helix, believing that these factors were absent from popular solutions like Apollo Server, express-graphql and Mercurius:

how to deploy a graphQL server with docker and fly
Express GraphQL is a library for building production ready GraphQL HTTP middleware. Despite the emphasis on Express in the repo name, you can create a GraphQL HTTP server with any HTTP web framework that supports connect styled middleware. This includes Connect itself, Express and Restify.

GraphQL - Diving Deep
If you are using Node.js there are a lot of implementations of GraphQL servers with a few being express-graphql, apollo-server, mercurius, graphql-helix and more. And if you are using other languages, you can see a great list here

REST vs. gRPC vs. GraphQL
Not sure about other libraries but it's certainly not the case for express-graphql on node.js. You can tie the graphql endpoint to any method you like. On the site I work on, we have a graphql endpoint that only accepts GET requests in production and is thus cacheable by Cloudfront. In dev and staging we accept all requests so that GraphIQL works.

End-To-End Polymorphism: From Database to UI, Achieving SOLID Design
Unfortunately Prisma hasn’t supported polymorphism yet. As such, you can't use inheritance to model the entity in the same way as in your programming language, as depicted in the above class diagram. The good news is that we could intimate it using table inheritance to imitate it.

Next.js App Router Course
In this project I am manually declaring the data types. For better type-safety, use Prisma, which automatically generates types based on your database schema.

Next.js 14: Fetching Data
When you're creating a full-stack application, you'll also need to write logic to interact with your database. For relational databases like Postgres, you can do this with SQL, or an ORM like Prisma.

Taming cross-service database transactions in NestJS with AsyncLocalStorage
There have been multiple feature requests to add native support for AsyncLocalStorage to Prisma, but they haven't been met with much enthusiasm from the maintainers. Some people solved it by extending and overriding the client (which is arguably prone to breaking with updates).

What Are the Chances of You Creating a Programming Language
The DSL experience comes naturally to us as we have witnessed how well-designed language can greatly simplify programming tasks. We know it is challenging but not as difficult as many may feel. Therefore, we chose the schema-first design to create ZenStack toolkit on top of Prisma ORM that leverages code generation to significantly reduce the code developers need to write and make them move a lot faster.

How to Build & Deploy Scalable Microservices with NodeJS, TypeScript and Docker || A Comprehesive Guide
Our products microservice is also straight forward just like how the auth has been. As previously plotted, we will be using different technologies on each service and we are using PostgreSQL as a database and prisma orm(Object Relational Mapper) for querying our DB. ORMs are used to translate between the data representations used by databases and those used in object-oriented programming, and in this service, we will be using one of the most common ones in the nodejs ecosystem, Prisma. It is the only fully type-safe ORM in the TypeScript ecosystem. The generated Prisma Client ensures typed query results even for partial queries and relations.
